DigitalCameraReview – 02 January’08 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and likes the camera because features and price are just right. Here’s a summation of their review conclusion -
“If you take into consideration this camera has image stabilization as well as manual controls it really delivers a lot of bang for the buck. On the complaint side of the list the camera could be a little smaller and Canon could have put a more attention into a higher quality LCD. But for the price this camera goes to the head of the class.”
DPReview – 22 October’07 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and thinks this is a lot of camera for the price. Here’s and excerpt from their review conclusion -
“with the Canon A570 IS you get a nicely designed, responsive camera with more than enough features to keep most users – especially those wanting a little more manual control than is normal at this price point – happy. If you don’t mind it not being the fastest ’social’ snapshot camera in the world (the flash recycling puts paid to that), this is a perfect camera for anyone wanting real photographic control without paying through the nose. Its well balanced combination of image quality, functionality and handling (and not to forget value for money) means the A570 IS just about deserves our highest award.”
Cameras.co.uk reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and writes;
“The Canon Powershot A570 IS scored well in all of my tests. Picture quality is some way above average especially for a camera in this price bracket. It also has a range of features you are unlikely to find in many other cameras for the same price.”
Digital Camera Review – 6/19/2007 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and they write, “Canon might be marketing this camera to “family photographersâ€, but the A570 IS should appeal to a much wider range of shooters. With great image and color quality, image stabilization, excellent shutter lag and continuous shooting capability, manual controls and versatile “auto†performance, this camera can ably serve a novice who never leaves the “auto†setting or provide a learning tool for someone looking to get some manual experience before possibly jumping into the DSLR world. The optional teleconverter gives the camera a 245mm focal length to bring those distant subjects a bit closer. Overall, anyone who wants good performance at a very reasonable price should give serious consideration to the A570 IS.”
Digital Camera Info – 6/15/2007 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and they write, “It’s a shame that Canon doesn’t put more effort into making low-end cameras durable. Pentax and Olympus prove that it can be done. Sadly, more than a few PowerShot A570ISs will likely end up damaged or broken. However, for just over $200, the PowerShot A570IS is a bargain for casual users, who will benefit from its hefty feature set. The face detection and image stabilization combination will save, conservatively, gazillions of snapshots taken by the careless, clueless or chemically-compromised user. It’s less likely that the A570IS’s other advances – a 7.1-megapixel sensor and a high-end ISO of 1600 – will help users as much, though their inclusion, coupled with the camera’s manual controls and exceptional color performance, make the A570IS an unusual bargain at its price.”
Trusted Reviews – 6/13/2007 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and they write, “With the PowerShot A570 IS Canon continues what is arguably the best value series of mid-range enthusiast’s cameras on the market. Performance, build quality and design are up to Canon’s usual high standard, it has a wider range of features than anything else at its price point, and produces good results in a wide range of lighting conditions. It is an ideal camera for anyone keen to learn, and is capable of real creative photography.”
Imaging Resource – 5/30/2007 – reviews the Canon Powershot A570 IS and they write, “From the optical viewfinder to the manual modes, whenever I looked for a feature a photographer would appreciate, I found it on the A570 IS. There isn’t the gaudy LCD (with no room for a viewfinder) or extravagant zoom range (with big compromises in optical quality) or any of the frills (frames, in-camera presentations) of many less capable digicams.”
DCRP – 5/9/2007 – has reviewed the Canon Powershot A570 IS and they write, “The PowerShot A570 IS is the definition of an excellent value. It’s packed with virtually every desirable feature, from image stabilization to manual controls to conversion lens support. And you don’t have to pay through the nose for it, either — it can be found for well under $250. I can highly recommend the A570, whether you’re a beginning or more experienced photographer.”
LetsGoDigital – 4/30/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS anb they write, “Canon PowerShot A570 Review Conclusion
Canon can congratulate itself with the PowerShot A-series cameras. For the past few years cameras in this class have been extremely popular, because of their versatile qualities. It’s amazing to see that the Canon PowerShot A570 IS has more to offer in terms of functionality than its competition, or even cameras in a more expensive class. This is remarkable and probably explains the PowerShot A-concept success story. The Canon PowerShot A570 IS is at the top of its class and its details on paper will even entice the novice but certainly also the experienced photographer.”
Steve’s Digicams – 4/16/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS anb they write, “Like it’s brother (A560), I was very happy with the Canon PowerShot A570 IS. With 7-megapixels of resolution, a 4x image stabilized optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD, great movie mode, awesome image quality, and loads of useful exposure modes, the A570 is sure to be a very popular model for 2007. At US$279 or less (4/2007), it’s only about $50 more than the A560, which we feel is well worth the added versatility of this new model. That said, the A570 will make an excellent choice for anyone who wants a capable, yet compact and affordable 7-meagpixel digicam.”
PhotoReview – 3/27/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS anb they write, “Overall, the PowerShot A570 IS provides a huge range of controls and functions for its price. It’s a camera family users can ‘grow with’ and, despite some reservations about image noise, some slow response times and poor auto white balance performance under incandescent light, we think buyers would be hard-pressed to find a digicam that offers so many advantages for the money.”
CNET – 3/22/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS an they write, “Overall, the PowerShot A570 IS is a solid compact camera that offers a lot of value for your money. We were a bit disappointed with its high ISO noise, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a compact camera at a price like this that has manual exposure controls, optical image stabilization, flash output control, and speedy performance. Plus, similar to all the A-series cameras, this one runs on AA batteries, so if you run out of power, you don’t need to wait for charging.”
Ken Rockwell – 3/15/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS an they write, “This is a nice camera, but not much less expensive than the tiny SD700 I prefer and use personally. For most people the slimmer and smaller SD700 or SD800 are better cameras because of their better batteries and flash systems. The A570 eats AA batteries if you use it much, the others include a tiny rechargeable battery that runs forever with a charger.”
Good Gear Guide – 3/15/2007 – has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon Powershot A570 IS an they write, “The A570IS follows the standard PowerShot design, with a slightly chunky, jutting hand grip and a silver plastic body. It isn’t the sturdiest unit we’ve seen, as there is little metal in the construction, but it should survive some rough treatment. The controls and interface will be familiar for regular Canon users, with a five-way directional pad used to navigate the two separate menus; one for picture options (ISO, white balance etc) and one for everything else (format, reset etc). The controls are a little cramped for our liking, but they shouldn’t pose too many problems. Measuring 89.5mm x 64.3mm x 42.8mm and weighing 175g, the A570IS is a little smaller than some previous PowerShot models.”
